ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new method for placing zygomatic implants, which are special dental implants used for patients who have lost teeth in the upper jaw and may not have enough bone for traditional implants. The trial compares the accuracy of using a dynamic navigation system—like a GPS for surgery—versus the standard freehand technique. The goal is to see if the new system can help place these implants more precisely.

To join the study, participants must be adults over 18 years old who have partial or total tooth loss in the upper jaw and significant bone loss that makes regular implant placement difficult. Unfortunately, people with certain facial bone diseases or health conditions that could complicate surgery cannot participate. Those who take part in the trial will help researchers learn more about this innovative approach, and they can expect to receive careful monitoring and support throughout the process.
